1. Recording Real Estate Documents. We highly encourage electronic recording of all documents.

2. Birth, Death and Marriage Certificates. All certified copies of birth, death and marriage certificates are available for purchase online or by mail. To access the online portal or print the mail in request form please visit our web page located on the left.

3. Marriage Licenses and Notary Oaths. Marriage licenses and notary oaths will be available by appointment.

We encourage marriage applicants to utilize the online application available on the marriage web page on the left to expedite the process. Only the two marriage applicants are permitted to enter the office.
